Bug #: 28515
Summary: Dynamic fonts support in mobile gateway
Product: Wikipedia Mobile
Version: .5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: server
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
This request is a spin-off of Bug 2361 focusing on dynamic font support in the
mobile gateway.
Reasoning:
- Fonts supported in mobile devices & mobile browsers may be limited to the
languages official in the country/region where a device is sold, and even then
minority languages / scripts may be left unsupported.
- Installing fonts in mobile devices can be tricky or impossible as you go to
lower price points - which happens to be the price range of many speakers of
non-Latin scripts in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
- Mobile browsers are getting smarter with wider Unicode and webfont support,
and this seems to be the best way to offer at least the possibility to read
Wikimedia content in all languages.
PS: we are trying to track the support level of different languages in
different mobile browsers at

- feel free adding / editing any new data there. Thanks!
